Chapter 30: The Broker's Secrets

Seeing that Qin Feng was listening carefully, Lao Gao paused and continued: "The entire black market is divided into five districts. The first is the weapons area, which is the largest trading area in the black market, with many types of armaments, security firearms and vehicles, and even very rare power armor for sale, which is said to be very valuable every year. ”

"The second area is the food area, the scale of this area is not very large, the current grain production is too low to afford to consume, but this area is very important, now the trade is more than the higher yield of coarse grains, mutated plants, animal processing of nutritional mixtures, rice and fine noodles are not only very tight, and expensive, the same variety of canned products are also very popular, in addition to canned meat, there are some canned fruits that are considered luxuries, ordinary people can not afford to eat."

"The third is the civilian area, all kinds of vehicles, machinery, daily necessities, sales are also good, caravans from other places often come to purchase materials, I have to say that the head of Peng Yuzhen is not very good in the military, but it is still good to engage in business, he also restored some machinery factories in the nearby development zone, can produce daily necessities in small quantities.

"The fourth is the slave market, all kinds of men, women, skilled and unskilled can be found in it, and the nearby slave catchers often bring new people over, but there are not only slaves and free people here to find work, but now they will implant nano loyalty chips in their brains, in fact, it is similar to signing a contract with slaves."

"The fifth is the living area, which has all kinds of hotels, restaurants, and red light districts, and the services you want can be obtained as long as you have money, and of course the price is also very expensive."

After listening to Lao Gao's detailed introduction, Qin Feng had a question in his heart, so he asked Lao Gao: "So this is equivalent to a city within a city, so why do you have to hang a black market signboard and merge directly with the commercial street outside?" ”

Lao Gao looked at no one nearby, and continued to whisper: "You don't know this, although the Tiantai base is now led by Peng Yuzhen, he was only a logistics officer at the time, and those with higher ranks than him fought and died fighting zombies, because of this, he sat in the position of the head of this regiment." ”

"But at that time, there were still a group of low-level officers with slightly lower ranks but rich combat experience, and he was afraid that these people would not be convinced, so he took them all to the second line and sent them to guard the treasury.

"The Tiantai base is within the sphere of influence of the Hangzhou base, to a certain extent, it has to obey the orders of the Hangzhou base, and it has to pay a certain amount of taxes to the Hangzhou base, so the Hangzhou base also sent a tax officer over, Peng Yuzhen was very disdainful of this practice, and at first planned to buy him, but it turned out that the other party was a stone in the pit that smelled and hard, soft and hard, and the tax officer was attacked once during this period, but there was no evidence to indicate that Peng Yuzhen did it, and finally checked for a long time and found nothing, and it was over."

Because of the interests of Peng Yuzhen in the business of a new business, to make such a black market, ostensibly to encourage the circulation of goods in the last days so to give the market merchants tax exemption treatment, in fact, he not only continued to collect taxes, the tax rate is also twice as high as the outside commercial street, and finally pocketed the money.

"Businesses don't have an opinion on doubling taxes?" Qin Feng looked at the warehouse shops on both sides and asked again.

"It's all a unique business, and the monopoly is very strong, and the outside commercial street is only allowed to do ordinary business, and can't compete with black market merchants, even if there are some businesses that can be done, but the goods are still black goods flowing out of the black market." Lao Gao talked eloquently, walked all the way and talked all the way.

"This old man knows a lot of things, and he has obtained a lot of useful information from him." Qin Feng thought to himself in his heart.

"Then the tax collector can't help it?" Qin Feng felt that things would definitely not be so simple, but the reason for this was generally only known to the parties concerned.

"This tax officer only has a five-person escort team at the Tiantai base, and his combat effectiveness is not bad, but what can he do, without the support of force, he and Peng Yuzhen really can't stand up. It's been a year, and he's gradually settled down, and he no longer goes to the trouble of the black market.

"Hehe, maybe this person is just hibernating, and maybe there will be big movements in the future," Qin Feng always felt that the Hangzhou City base dared to send people like this, he must have his own support, but he didn't know it.

This black market area is very large, and the size of the previous markets seems to be very good, "How much wealth must have been stored here, but unfortunately a lot of it was destroyed in the war." Qin Feng was very impressed in his heart.

The longer he stayed at the Tiantai base recently, and the more information he learned, the more Qin Feng felt that he should do something.

From the beginning of the last days until now, I have gradually stabilized, and all I can do before is to flee for survival, for the sake of my comrades and all those who depend on my survival, to take on tasks and fight to get more information and materials, just to live well in this last days.

In the past, he still had the Blood Blade Mercenary Group to rely on, but now he has become an enemy, and all he can do is rely on himself to win a place to survive in this world.

The current personnel of the Wind and Thunder Mercenary Squadron are less than a hundred, almost the appearance of a combat company, but there are less than fifty of the combat personnel, and the individual combat power is good, but this number of people is not enough for the hordes of zombies and the slightly larger combat team, not to mention that the evolution beasts outside are more powerful day by day, and in the long run, the wild will gradually become a forbidden place, if there is no reliable and safe base to develop, after all, one day, everyone in the Wind and Thunder Mercenary Squadron will gradually perish.

Qin Feng arranged for Liu Lei's political commissar to lead all the personnel to transfer to the No. 3 backup base, in fact, this so-called No. 3 base is just a research institute found when he went out on a mission before, with a two-story underground structure, which is relatively safe, but as a real base, it is very inadequate, there is no production area for growing food, the materials cannot be replenished, it is too close to the suburbs of the city, once the zombies in the city riot, it will definitely be quickly bulldozed, there is no reason for people to survive, and it is only expedient to temporarily retreat there, It's just to avoid the edge of the Bloody Blade Mercenary Group for the time being, and when you find out the inner ghost, you still have to choose a stable place to operate carefully.

In the few days that Qin Feng stayed in the Tiantai base, he was already planning for the future, and he actually looked at the Tiantai base in his heart, which can meet all the conditions for early development, there are reservoirs, power generation, arable land for production and an appropriate amount of population, there are basic industrial development zones, machinery and equipment can be manufactured, certain armaments and materials can be produced, and the terrain is also very suitable for defense.
